We dont know exactly what is on the agenda but the official tagline �its been way too long� is on all the invitations and this suggests that at least one of the products or features at this event has been due some attention for quite a long time.

This tagline could allude to the Mac mini, which hasnt had an upgrade of any significance for nearly two years. A number of reports suggest that the compact desktop could be subject to a number of enhancements, although it isnt suggested that a redesign is on the agenda. There is also talk of the iMac being treated to Retina display, which would bring the all-in-one desktop up to par with the likes of the MacBook Pro in terms of sharpness. While the 27 inch model could be getting the 5K treatment, the smaller 21.5 inch model wont be joining it.

The iPad Air is going to get a refresh and we have already seen leaks that have pointed to a thinner form factor, Touch ID, and minor aesthetic tweaks. The iPad mini might also be following suite, and if so, we expect that both of Apples tablets will benefit from a variant of the new A8 processor which was first seen with the iPhone 6.

OS X Yosemite is also poised to hit the Mac App Store very soon and we are fairly confident that this desktop software will be mentioned at this event. It was originally announced way back at WWDC and we expect it to be announced on the 16th. IOS 8.1 is also on the way and that is going to bring with it Apple Pay.

With all of these things to look forward to, Thursdays event is going to be one that you wont want to miss. We will of course be bringing you all the relevant information and take away bits from Apples next major event. We cant wait, can you?
